AW: put the qtversion crashes

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Bob,
I've wrapped the qtversion in a try catch in my next version, but with all
current version out there I still have this issue. Just yesterday again I
had another customer (Win 7 Ultimate 64, other customes were XP,...). On the
first start of my program I check for qtversion and I pop up a message to
install QT please... After the install of QT my program crashes only.
Deinstalling QT three times, reinstalling it (as Admin) three times again,
with or without virus scanner, having sufficient RAM, starting as Admin,
etc. nothing helped, my program couldn't get to start anymore without total
crash. Reinstalling windows probably would solve the problem, but I haven't
met any customer yet who was ready to do that, they better rejected my
program and complain about the bad quality of my software.
I wonder if there are no other bells and whistles to check for a full QT
installation? Am I the only one making theses experiences with QT? No
experiences and tricks?
Tiemo

Re: Please can you help increase the number of visitors to 1001 things to do with LiveCode

[Peter W A Wood]

Thanks Monte. I've added the small Kickstarter image linked to the Kickstarter 
Project Home Page. Blogger wouldn't let me simply embed the widget and I don't 
have time to mess with the Blogger template at the moment.

[Heather Laine]

Mmm I think its slightly broken the page. Its displaying weirdly for me now, in 
chrome on Mac. If you want a screenshot drop me a line off list.

Other than that, I am *loving* this blog. It's an excellent way to show all the 
many things people do with LiveCode, and I will feature it in the next 
newsletter for sure.

Good Work!

[Peter W A Wood]

Could you check again please Heather in case the weird display was when I was 
adding the Kickstarter image. It looks okay for me in Safari and FireFox on the 
Mac and Chrome under Windows. If it's still weird, I would appreciate a 
screenshot.

Thanks

Re: [ANN] Possible NorCal Users Group/LiveCode Intro Meetup

[Scott Rossi]

Hello LiveCoders:

The LiveCode meetup at Google is on!  The date will be Monday Feb 25, 6:30 ­
8:30PM PST.
Google headquarters is located in Mountain View CA, near the 101 freeway.
Directions to the actual building will be provided once the room is
finalized (Google owns a lot of buildings).

A few folks have asked about the possibility of doing remote presentations
and/or listening in.  We're waiting to find out what services Google can
provide.  Worst case, we might try to arrange some kind of Ustream or
similar connection.  More details to come.

The current plan for the event is two parts: the first 30 - 45 min or so
will be allotted for an informal introduction to LiveCode for folks who
haven't used the platform or have questions about it.  The remaining time is
available for you to share a project you're working on and/or discuss your
development issues.  (I have a few things myself that I think folks might be
interested in seeing.)  If you would like to make a presentation, please
contact me off list so I can arrange a schedule.

Free registration for the event is setup here:
http://livecode-meetup-sfbayarea.eventbrite.com/

To the folks who contacted me directly, please use the above form so we can
keep track of the number of people attending.

Looking forward to meeting up :-)

Regards,

Scott Rossi

Question about textFont in Livecode

[Lars Brehmer]

I seem to have a problem with Livecode vs. RunRev and textFont.

In RunRev stacks, I could have some fields with the textFont set to 
"Arial,Russian" and others set to "Arial." Tabbing between these fields (or 
simply clicking in them) would change the keyboard from English to Russian and 
back.

Now Livecode handles unicode differently, and while I for the most part get it, 
I can't get the keyboard to switch between English and Russian, which means 
each time a filed is focused I have to manually switch the keyboard. There must 
be a simply way to correct this, but I can't find it.

What am I missing?

Cheers,

Lars

Re: Question about textFont in Livecode

[dunbarx]

Hi.


I never even knew this was an option. But you are right, in a v3.5 stack, the 
textFont can be set to both a fontName and a language, and the field text 
follows faithfully, In v.5.3, only the font is set.


Someone? Or is this a bug?

Re: bug check

[Mike Kerner]

The thing that's annoying about the script update is that LC knows when any
other changes are made to a stack, and asks if you want to save them, but
not for a script.

Mac App Submit

[Lars Brehmer]

I am trying to submit an app to the Mac App Store.

I am one of those Livecode users who only know Livecode - no Xcode, no C++, 
just Livecode, so this is a bit daunting to say the least.

I am following this article 
"http://runrev.com/newsletter/june/issue112/newsletter4.php"; step by step. It 
was posted in a Livecode Newsletter a few months ago.

So far so good until this;

> Edit Info.plist to include information not automatically inserted by 
> LiveCode. "Info.plist" is in the "Contents" folder inside the application 
> package. Double click on "Info.plist" to open it with "Property List Editor" 
> (provided in the Apple Developer tools assuming you installed those).

It opens in Xcode, not "Property List Editor." 

> Change the view to display the raw key values. In the "View" menu select the 
> "Show Raw Keys/Values" menu item.

In the Xcode menu bar there is Editor>Show Raw Key Values, so I choose it

> Select the key "Information Property List" and press the "Add Child" button.

The Plist window doesn't look like the one in the article, but hovering over 
"Information Property List" a little + button appears, which I assume is like 
the Add Child in the picture in the article.

> A list of possible keys to add will be displayed, because it is not in the 
> list, manually type "LSApplicationCategoryType".

"LSApplicationCategory" IS in the list so I choose it.

> For the value enter the previously chosen Mac App Store Application Category 
> Type from the list of allowed category types provided by Apple. For this 
> example we are entering "public.app-category.entertainment". Save your 
> changes.

I add this value manually and save, but when I close and reopen it the changes 
age gone.

So I am confused why my editor window looks different and doesn't seem to save 
changes.

I have searched my drive for "Property List Editor" - nothing

The Developer tools folder only contains and uninstaller.

I searched Apple Downloads for "Developer Tools" 150 results, no "Property List 
Editor," nothng by Apple called "developer Tools."

I searched the App Store for Developer Tools and get an handful of results, the 
only one from Apple is Xcode, which I already have installed.

I have heard that actually submitting an App is complex and hard, but I can't 
even get far enough to try it!

Help would be very appreciated, as always!

Cheers,

Lars

Re: Mac App Submit

[Colin Holgate]

I just went through the steps, and what you say here is confusing:

>> 
>> For the value enter the previously chosen Mac App Store Application Category 
>> Type from the list of allowed category types provided by Apple. For this 
>> example we are entering "public.app-category.entertainment". Save your

> changes age gone.


You don't manually add "Mac App Store Application Category Type", you choose 
from the menu an item that matches the Mac App Store category that you have 
previously claimed the app to be. So for example, in my test I chose 
"public.app-category.developer-tools". The save and reopen worked fine, but 
note that when you reopen you're no longer in Raw Keys/Values. The thing you 
added will show as "Application Category" with a value on the lines of 
"Developer Tools".

By the way, you can completely skip the raw keys steps, just let it stay in the 
easy looking English version, add in an "Application Category", and choose from 
the easy to understand category list.

Also, yes, the article is out of date, for a while now Xcode has taken over 
editing plists, there is no Property List Editor anymore.

Build-time v Run-time

[Graham Samuel]

Another naive questions, but this hasn't happened to me before, or at least I 
haven't recognised it properly.

I'm looking at some code written by an associate. As normal (to me) it's a 
mainstack and a lot of substacks. I want to tinker with the code, so I open the 
mainstack in the LC IDE, and immediately the program starts to run, even though 
the Edit tool is active in the toolbar rather than the Browse tool - it starts 
up and does stuff, like the IDE does. I don't want that, I want the code to 
remain entirely passive until I tell it to run!

How does a stack get into 'instant run mode' like that, and what can I do to 
stop it? Is there some way of creeping up on it so that no handler is executed?

Actually I noticed that Thierry's Kickstarter monitoring program does the same 
thing, but I still don't understand it, even tho it only has a few lines of 
script. What apparently happens is that the preOpenCard handler is executed 
when the file is opened, but why?

Dumb again

when you open a stack, all "pre-/open-stack/card" handlers will be executed, no 
matter what the current "tool" is!
You can "lock messages" before opening a stack to prevent this:
...
lock messages
go stack "path/to/stack"
...

Or select "Suppress messages" in the "development" menu in Livecode before 
opening that stack.
Which does the same.

And don't forget to switch it back afterwards! ;-)

Hope that helps.

Re: Build-time v Run-time

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks Klaus. I guess I didn't encounter this because I always begin my apps 
with a 'startUp' handler - these are not executed when a stack is loaded into 
the IDE, but they are when a standalone is loaded. One can test the logic by 
doing 'send "startUp" to...'. I do use preOpenCard handlers but usually in 
distant cards which are only opened under program control.

Funny I didn't realise this after all this time.

Thanks again.

Graham

Apparently, your associate coded something in one of the openXxxx 
handlers to start execution. Those handlers run regardless of the IDE 
mode. To achieve what you want, the code should check the environment 
(look it up in the dictionary) and do not execute if it is 
"development". If you want to be able to execute after all, to 
simulate standalone execution, you may add checking whether the alt 
key is down, and if it is down, execute regardless of the environment.

OT. Kickstart Union of Genius

[Mark Wieder]

I want to take this opportunity to plug another Kickstarter project now that
it's into its last 48 hours. It's not entirely OT since it's in Edinburgh .
Union of Genius is a cafe that has met their original KS funding goals and a few
stretch goals, including providing soup in perpetuity to Edinburgh's Care Van.
I'm proud to be a supporter, and if you've got extra cash after supporting LC's
Kickstarter project, do think about sending some their way in the next couple of
days. I'll be happily making my way over to Union of Genius for a bowl of soup
at the conference in May. Yum.

Re: Build-time v Run-time

[Robert Sneidar]

Easy enough to just click the suppress messages button before opening the 
stack. You will probably want to keep messages suppressed in this situation if 
going to other stacks and cards is going to trigger actions that the openstack 
has not set up yet. You can make a handler called startApp or something similar 
that the preOpenStack handler traps, so you can call it at will when you need 
to do runtime testing.

OK, pledged.
btw - I notice that they started out asking for just 3% of the amount 
required for the LC Kickstart
- but their Kickstarter page is more than twice as long (and 
perhaps twice as interesting as well :-)

The love formula

[Jim Hurley]

This is a little late for Valentine's day, but I was being smothered in 
affection yesterday ;)

Here is a link to show the formula for a heart: 

http://www.google.com/imgres?q=the+love+formula&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=d&rls=en&biw=1335&bih=943&tbm=isch&tbnid=S0s-aYE5EW3kdM:&imgrefurl=http://9gag.com/gag/125927&docid=ZUOxCpj_QyMOlM&imgurl=http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/125927_700b.jpg&w=700&h=768&ei=dLkeUaj-Oci9igLty4CYCw&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:5,s:0,i:96&iact=rc&dur=1220&sig=100340526412447560004&page=1&tbnh=172&tbnw=157&start=0&ndsp=20&tx=107&ty=88

And here is a script to draw one in LC.



local x0, y0, x, signum

on mouseUp
  --The equation of a heart is x^2 + (y - x^(2/3))^2  = 1
  --So that y = x^(2/3) + or - sqrt(1-x^2) 
  -- The plus give the top of the heart and the minus produces the bottom

  if there is no grc "heart" then create grc "heart"
  set the style of grc "heart" to "line"
  set the points of grc "heart" to empty
  put the width of this card/2 into x0
  Put round( the height of this card /2) into y0
  put  0 into x
  --Signum is used to change the sign of the square root
  put 1 into  signum
  put drawHeart() into tTopPoints
  put 0 into x
  --Now the bottom
  put -1 into signum
  put drawHeart() into tBottomPoints
  if last line of tBottpPoints is empty then delete the last line of 
tBottomPoints
  --The botton get drawn bottom up--so reverse the points.
  put reverse(tBottomPoints) into tBottomPoints
  --Combine top and bottom.
  put tTopPoints & cr & tBottomPoints into tFinal
  if the last line of tFinal is empty then delete last char of tFinal
--Now put those points into the center of the screen--at x0,y0
  repeat for each line tLine in tFinal
 if tLine is empty then next repeat
 put x0 + 100*item 1 of tLine into xTemp
 put x0 - 100*item 1 of tLine into xTempLeftSide
 put y0 - 100*item 2 of tLine into yTemp
 put  round(xTemp) , round(yTemp) into temp
 if temp is not empty then put temp & cr after results
 put  round(xTempLeftSide) , round(yTemp)  into temp2
 if temp2 is not empty then put temp2 & cr after resultsLeftSide
  end repeat
  set the points of grc "heart" to empty 
  set the points of grc "heart" to resultsLeftSide
  put cr & resultsLeftSide after results
  set the points of grc "heart" to results
end mouseUP

function y x
  return  x^(2/3) + signum* sqrt (1 - x^2) 
end y

function DrawHeart
  repeat 
 if x>= 1 then exit repeat
 put x , y(x) into tPoint
 put tPoint & cr after tPoints
 add .002to x
  end repeat
  return tPoints
end DrawHeart

This is a little late for Valentine's day, but I was being smothered in 
affection yesterday ;)

Here is a link to show the formula for a heart:

AW: put the qtversion crashes

[Dave Kilroy]

Hi Tiemo

Did you know there are "K" and "KN" editions of Windows 7 Ultimate (I have the 
"N" edition) which come without Windows Media Player plus some other stuff that 
originally made viewing videos impossible.

Downloading Windows Media Player from Microsoft didn't stop the errors when 
attempting to play videos - and Real Player and QT also didn't run (think QT 
relies on Windows Media Player in Win7) - what fixed it for me was installing 
VLC media player and a reboot - after that Windows Media Player and QT worked!

So - it may be that the crash on your customer's Windows 7 Ultimate is not down 
to your software but to the OS being sold without Windows Media Player…

Odin's acting up today - this took two hours to get to me. That's two
hours after the listserv (in the same subnet) picked it up.

Anyway, much thanks. I'll contact the cafe and see about setting up an
appropriate LiveCode event during the conference.
